Colon Rules Language Txbk: Use your index to find “colons” -- “the placement of”

Colon Rule #1  Use colons to set off a list of items or words ESPECIALLY when preceded by the following words: the following, as follows, or for example.  Example : When I get ready for school, I have to remember all of of the following necessities : my backpack, my lunchbox, and my homework.  Thing to remember : A colon introduces a list. IT CANNOT separate a preposition or a verb from its object! *If you’re typing, double space after the colon!

Colon Rule #2 Use colons in conventional situations.  In times. (This one is common sense.)  Example: We get out of school at 3:00.  After the opening salutation of a BUSINESS LETTER:  Examples: To whom it may concern:  Dear Sir or Madam:  Between the chapter and verse in a Bible reference.  Example: Turn in your Bible to John 3:16.  Between the title and subtitle in a sentence.  “Cellular Life: Animal Plant Cells”  “South America: Peru”  --- don’t forget the quotes!

Colon Rule #3  Use a colon to set off a quotation in a sentence. Example : My favorite quote starts with these ringing words: “Is life so dear, or peace as sweet as to be purchased by the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what courses others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Now it’s your turn to practice: Directions: Exercise 12 #1-10 Copy the sentences. Fill in the bracketed info. Highlight ALL punctuation. Periods, commas, hyphens, and colons.
